Then you would not be expected to pay any employer taxes, the employee would be required to sort all of that out themselves. But, to their benefit, they can then deduct a ton of expenses making the payment and taxable amount negligible. YOu should have a stock agreement to use with everybody that states in clear terms that they are an independent contractor, they are responsible for all injuries, they are responsible for all their errors and omissions, and taxes, and they you provide no insurance coverage for them. It should also say they agree to indemnify you for any and all legal bills incurred as a result of their employment with your group. Then they will have little leg to stand on in the case of an injury, no attorney will take that kind of case without a fat retainer up front, which few people will be willing to part with, and they will still lose in the end. You protect yourselves that way from the IRS, liability, and from misunderstandings. I have a form that could be modified to suit your needs, I'd be happy to share. Susan, Please do share your form. If you have it on your computer, could you just copy it into the body of an e-mail? I'm sure many groups would be glad to have it. Thanks.
